Gone Missing

 

Weird!

I posted this image of Samuel Beckett on my site last year.

It had quite a lot of ‘likes.’  I can prove it is my work as I

have the original painting.

Today I have been trawling through my site to find it

and it has disappeared.  I wanted to show it to someone after

a photography programme on television last week mentioned

my friend, Jane Bown, who took the original photo, on which

I based my painting.

What’s going on, guys?  It feels like it could be the subject of a

work of literature.

If anyone else can find it on my site, please let me know!

Ken Dodd, OBE

Sir Ken Dodd,

even as a child I found you somewhat odd.

Nevertheless, how very tickled you must be

to have finally been awarded an OBE.
